It plays a sound that says, and displays a popup which reads: “Please do not press this button again. Thank you.”

Why doesn’t someone just fork it and change the name?

Like, I dunno, “Super Human Image Treatment” or “Consistently Lovely Image Treatment Oriented for Real Imaging Stars”

So, kinda like the stereotypical Canadian accent?

Well, the thing about the top chess players is…
their patience.

I hope SNL get Steve Martin to play him.

The Democratic Order of Planets has a streaming platform, now?

Check your current provider. I updated my plan last year with Bell to get 50GB/month, but a few days ago, and I’ll soon be getting 130GB, for almost the same price. I think I’ll be paying $2 more/month, mainly because the new plan doesn’t come with any bundling reductions like my last plan.

But my point is, it looks like Canadian cell providers appear to be significantly increasing the limits in their data plans lately. And since the three majors tend to offer more or less the same plans…

Wouldn’t want people to start calling her a maverick. That doesn’t usually go well for candidates.

My headcannon for this is that spaceships in that universe are to those people what cars are to us. If you know the basics of driving a car, you can drive most cars, though the bigger ships might get more complicated (I’ve never seen one of our heroes try to back up a star destroyer into a starbase to help with their buddy’s move.)

Yeah, but no one can escape the gravitational field of your mom.

(Sorry, couldn’t resist, as I half expected your comment to end with a “your mom” joke)

All those comments, and only you knew what was really up? People really do treasure their ignorance…

Canola is a North American thing. AFAIK the British are familiar with the term “rapeseed” and don’t need the rebranding.

You assume there’s lots of chemicals, but did you check? The process of canning food doesn’t necessarily require a lot of chemicals: a lot of canned food is cooked in the can, after it’s sealed, which kills most of the microbes that might spoil the food and make you sick. And because it’s sealed, no microbes can get in, either.

Are the bikes just left parked around the city? Here in Montréal, we have Bixi, with docks for the bikes every few blocks, and bikes have to be returned to a dock when you’re done (or you’ll get docked for the price of the bike, pun intended) so we don’t hear about discarded bikes much.

The program is also a resounding success here!

But the bribe amounts have very little to do with how unfathomably rich the “donors” are! If you look at all those bribes, the amounts are still within the realm of what the 99% could put together.

But I don’t even think it would cost the 99% that much, because it would force the 1% to up their game (in other words, there’d be bribe inflation) until the 99% can’t follow suit, which means the 99% wouldn’t even need to pay, in the end. But the higher price would make some bribers think twice, which might lead to less bribery happening.

Québécois ici. Je suis arrivé sur Lemmy suivant l’exode de Reddit l’an passé. Sur Reddit, je n’étais pas exposé aux sous-Reddit Français et les seules communautés francophones que je visitais régulièrement étaient celles du Québec et de Montréal.

Mais peu de temps après mon arrivée ici, j’ai commencé à voir le contenu Français, et maintenant je suis vous discussions politiques, ce qui me donne plus de matériel de conversation avec mes collègues de bureau qui sont des ex-pats Français.

LOL, good one!

I expected this.

Maybe I was expecting too much.

They may have been referring to the cartoon. The car in the cartoon did some ridiculous shit, such as tires that inflated like balloons and made the car extra bouncy.

So, you’ve already tasted lab-grown meat?
